MSU – IIT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENTAL SCHOOL’S PROPOSED

K-12 SCIENCE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM

RATIONALE

As a response to research studies which points to the urgent need of improving the

educational system of the Philippines, the Department of Education is implementing the K-12

Program. The program aims to promote the quality of education by adding two years to the

existing basic education system. This change is a strategic step that shall provide students more

time to master the topics and skills taught in the current 10-year basic education program of our

country. The additional two years is also meant to ensure that graduates of the compulsory basic

education are not only skilled and of legal age upon graduation but are also emotionally matured

to join the Philippine work force.

Among the schools that will have to adopt the changes proposed by DepEd’s K-12

Program is the Integrated Developmental School (IDS) of the MSU – IIT. IDS is the high school

department of the College of Education. Since its establishment in 1945, IDS has been

considered as one of the best schools in Iligan City. IDS aims to serve as a feeder high school to

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) particularly those offering science and engineering courses.

Currently, it offers Science Curriculum to high school students. As of the writing of this

proposal, DepEd do not have a standard Science Curriculum for the K-12 program, hence this

proposal presents IDS’ Science Curriculum for the K-12 Program.

Aside from the additional 2 years (Senior High School) which aims to provide

specialized training (vocational , sports or academic-related skills), another significant change

proposed by the K-12 program is the use of the Spiral Progression scheme to ensure integrated

and seamless learning. By using the spiral progression scheme, subjects with several specialized

fields will be taught such that a specialized field will be taught on a per quarter basis rather than

that on a yearly basis. A comparison of how the Science is taught in the K-12 curriculum and the

previous DepEd curricula is presented below as an example.

To ensure that the quality of instruction will not be compromised (when non-major

teachers are forced to handle topics other than their field of specialization) while still following

the spiral progression scheme, IDS will adapt the design of the approved curriculum for the Pure

Science Curriculum (Resolution No. 33, s. 1998 approved by the MSU Board of Regents during

its 169th meeting). This design, as shown in the succeeding sections, offers the specialized fields

of Science as separate subjects.

OBJECTIVES

Consistent with the objectives of the K-12 program and the Mission and Vision of MSU-

IIT, this proposed Junior High School curriculum aims to:

1. produce self-directed and research-oriented graduates who will be academically

prepared for the professional and non-professional programs of the institute and other

leading institutions in the Philippines.

2. develop the student’s potentials towards the realization of a self-actualized individual.

3. inculcate the values of teamwork, accountability, commitment, excellence, integrity,

and uprightness of character.

4

Page 3: ids-curriculum- Web viewTo ensure that the quality of instruction will not be compromised (when non-major teachers are forced to handle topics other than their field of specialization)

ACTION PLAN

To fully and successfully implement the curriculum presented in this proposal, IDS will

have to take the following steps:

1. Conduct regular curriculum review and revision to determine ways of improving the

curriculum.

2. Conduct regular pedagogical and subject matter trainings to enhance the capability of the

teachers.

3. Conduct curriculum planning activities to allow teachers to design inter-field and project-

based assessment activities.

4. Acquire laboratory and instructional tools for student and teacher use.

5. Test, implement and evaluate the curriculum through developmental and tracer studies.

CURRICULUM

The proposed IDS Science Curriculum for the K-12 Program is intended for students who

will pursue higher education in the MSU System and other leading colleges and universities in

the country. Thus, subjects are geared towards academic excellence rather than on vocational

skills mastery. Moreover, the school wishes to continue offering a science curriculum, thus, more

time is devoted to the core subjects Science, Mathematics and English.

To ensure that the curriculum will develop well-rounded and socially-aware learners who

are equipped with the 21st century skills, teachers will implement collaborative project-based

activities (PBA). The PBAs will not only encourage the learners to think creatively how the

classroom lessons can be applied outside the classroom, but also provide a venue to learn and

practice research skills which they can use when they pursue their Senior High School in IDS.

These PBAs will be designed and prepared on a yearly basis during the curriculum review and

planning sessions.

Significant changes in the IDS’ Curriculum are the following:

1. Replacement of Earth Science as a subject offered in the Grade 7 (1st year) with

Biology 1.

2. Replacement of Biology 3 as a subject offered in the Grade 10 (4 th year) with

Environmental Science.

5

Page 4: ids-curriculum- Web viewTo ensure that the quality of instruction will not be compromised (when non-major teachers are forced to handle topics other than their field of specialization)

3. Removal of the Research subjects in the Junior High School curriculum.

The first two changes were based on the observations that for students to really grasp and

appreciate the beauty and inter-relatedness of the subject, they must have a background

understanding of the basic sciences which are biology, chemistry and physics. Moreover, instead

of offering Earth Science, Environmental Science is offered to provide emphasis on the current

condition of the planet and how students could become more pro-active nurturers of the Earth.

The Research subject in the Junior High School Curriculum (JHSC) was omitted to be

offered to the Senior High School Curriculum (SHSC). Likewise, subjects which will prepare the

students for their Research in in Senior High School will be offered in the JHSC. Aside from the

science subjects, Statistics for Research and Probability, Technical Writing and Journalism, and

Oral Communication will also be offered in the JHSC to prepare students for the Senior High.

Although the formal Research subject is not a part of the JHSC, the research processes will be

introduced to the students throughout their four years of Junior High School in IDS through the

collaborative project-based activities.

The following tables present the subjects that will be offered from Grades 7 – 10 in IDS.

Admission and Retention Policies

To ensure that only students with the capacity and the inclination towards higher education are subjected to the rigors of the IDS Science Curriculum, an admission examination shall be administered to graduating grade 6 students. The bases for the admission of an IDS freshman are the following:

1. Overall score in the IDS Admission Exam2. English, Science and Math Scores in the IDS Admission Exam3. Interview

There shall be four (4) sections per grade level with a maximum of 148 students per grade level. A student who acquires a failing final grade in any subject, including the character grade, will be required to transfer to another school.

11

Page 10: ids-curriculum- Web viewTo ensure that the quality of instruction will not be compromised (when non-major teachers are forced to handle topics other than their field of specialization)

Grading System

IDS adopts the averaging grading system which means that quarterly grades are computed independent of each other. The final grade for any subject is the average of its four quarterly grades.

The percentage passing grade is 50% and the minimum equivalent grade is 65. The quarterly grades are computed based on the following components:

Periodical Test 30%

Class Standing: 70%

Quizzes

Seatwork / Assignments

PBA Outputs

Student Participation/ Behavior.

Authentic assessment endorsed by the Department of Education will be used to evaluate students’ performance. These various forms of assessment are integrated in the instruction as well as in the evaluative components of the students’ grades.

The percentage values assigned to class standing components shall be determined by all subject teachers handling the subject. Non-submission/compliance of requirements within the grading period shall earn a student the lowest possible grade for that particular requirement.

Aside from the academic grades, each subject teacher will also give the student a character grade based on the following criteria: punctuality, discipline, cleanliness, honesty and courtesy. The character grade that shall be reflected on a student’s report card is the average of the character grades given by all the subject teachers. A sample report card is found in the Appendix.

Student Awards:

To encourage students to aim for excellence, recognition is given to those who performed well in academic and non-academic endeavors in and out of the campus. These students are recognized at the end of the first three quarters and at the end of the school year.

12

Page 11: ids-curriculum- Web viewTo ensure that the quality of instruction will not be compromised (when non-major teachers are forced to handle topics other than their field of specialization)

During the Quarter Recognition Awards, the following Awards are given:

Academic Honors are given to students who excel in their studies for the given quarter. To qualify for the Honors Roll, a student must have no grade below 85% in any subject and in any character grade for the given quarter.

o The First Honors Award is awarded to students whose grade point average for the quarter is 93% or better.

o The Second Honors Award is awarded to students whose grade point average for the quarter is from 90% to 92.99%.

o The Third Honors Award is awarded to students whose grade point average for the quarter is from 87% to 89.99%.

Co-Curricular and Extra-Curricular Awards are bestowed upon the students who won in the different competitions outside of IDS during the quarter.

At the end of the school year, the same academic honors are awarded to the students during the year-end recognition activities. However, to qualify for year-end honors roll, a student must have no final grade below 85% in any subject and in any character grade. Moreover, the student must have no grade below 80% in any subject during the previous quarter.

The Department Award is given to students who earned the highest academic grade in a particular field. For the fields of Science, Math and English where two or more subjects are offered in a year level, the weighted average of the final grades will be used as a basis for the selection of the awardee.

Co-Curricular and Extra-Curricular Awards are given to students who won in competitions outside of IDS during the last quarter. Students who won in regional, national and international competitions in the previous quarters are also recognized in the Year-end Recognition Program.
